President Trump- The Implications

[erfalf]

Some of your notions ignore checks and balances and the rest seem to indicate you believe Trump could act as a dictator or he would rule through blind rage for all minorities.  I believe you are far more worried than necessary over Trump's policies.

Anything is certainly possible but let's keep in mind there is a Congress, Supreme Court, and 300,000,000+ citizens to answer to.

Racist.

Can't you see the atmosphere collapsing around you?

I expect that:
Net Neutrality will die
The new overtime rules will be stopped
Pot legalization is done with
Transgendered Rights are done
Gay Rights rules against discrimination are done
We will have trade wars with China and Mexico at least hurting the economy and driving up illegal immigration
We will have some level of mass deportations
The Dream Act is done
Increasing the minimum wage will not happen
Unions will further be diminished by attacks by Federal rules and laws
We will have mass surveillance of Muslims and groups like BLM
Civil rights will be badly eroded by the Justice Department, hate crimes laws will be overturned
Taxes on the wealthy and corporations will go way down
Income inequality will skyrocket
The deficit will grow at an ugly rate
Regulation of banks and Wall Street will be greatly curtailed
The Federal Reserve's independence will end
Millions of people will lose healthcare
healthcare costs will skyrocket
We will be in recession within 18 months
China's claim the South China Sea will be allowed
Global Warming will accelerate to an unstoppable rate of heating


It's very possible:
Roe v Wade will be overturned
Gay Marriage will be overturned
Medicaid will be ended and replaced by state block grants
"Investment" accounts for Social Security will be allowed
NATO may die
Russia may invade the Baltic States and Ukraine without consequences
Legal Immigration will be massively restrained
Native Rights acts will be overturned including casinos and possibly sovereignty
We will enter a depression within 24 months
Trump will be impeached for financial self dealing
Trump will be impeached for sexual crimes

There was an injunction yesterday on the new overtime law.

Race relations weren't exactly stellar under Obama.  As of a month ago 54% of Americans believed that.  The media does not help with it's 24/7 fascination with racial discord but Obama missed key opportunities to bring people together after Trayvon Martin, Ferguson, Freddy Gray, etc.

http://www.cnn.com/2016/10/05/politics/obama-race-relations-poll/

I do note that whites (57%) believe more than blacks (40% which I still find significant with a black president) that racial relations got worse under Obama.  That might explain why Trump energized a group of Americans who felt left behind the last eight years. 

Again people, let's focus on our similarities instead of our differences.

That's because Obama didn't hide racism under the rug. He had an open discussion about it.

What is the inference about the people who voted for the corrupt white heterosexual female who assisted in covering up multiple sexual assaults by a previous POTUS?

Is that actually factual?

[davideinstein]

Ken Starr spent years and many millions of dollars to investigate all those claims against Bill and found nothing he could even charge Bill with, much less Hillary. All he found was the Bill lied on a deposition in a civil case. So there's nothing there to abet.

Trump paid off Ivana in their divorce settlement to kill the rape allegation she made under oath in her deposition and then had the records sealed. Trump said on tape he liked to go into the dressing rooms of his parents and check out the hot naked girls. Five girls from Miss Teen USA verified that he had done that to them, and some of them were naked and as young s 15.

Then proceeds to cover up sexual assault while at Baylor.

I hope the Democratic Party can do better than Warren.

Mr. tell your constituents one thing and vote another Jim Jones would be no better.  My father used to attend Jones' local meetings.

Better than Warren? What do you mean by that? She's one hell of a politician in my book.

Not a big deal. I applaud them in this case as a disbeliever in minimum wage laws actually helping people.

Huge deal actually. I manage this daily, do you?

Well...it was certainly an open discussion.

Most definitely. For a living my entire life.

It was a stupid rule, and caused more problems than it could have ever solved.

Salary gets abused and causes high turnover on the low end. That's a fact.

To each their own. How many truly believe Warren would have fared any better than Clinton. Media would have been just as insulting to the people that voted for Trump in the end. I don't really see her pulling any more from the minority crowd.

How exactly is that the government's problem? Are you forcing people to work for you?

[davideinstein]

We've already implemented hourly for the managers that were salary in stores. It has way, way more positives than negatives. Happier employees, fair wage on an hourly average, more flexibility and less turnover.

[davideinstein]

Because the government exist to protect the people, not your assumption on what might be more profitable on an Excel sheet in the short term. Government is a check on business and most of the time they get it right.
